Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Carb load Saturday...it was wonderful! It's funny how you can eat more and wake up feeling more hungry then you usually do!

My carb load was not quite as organized as I would have liked it. With most of the day spent at soccer, I didn't plan ahead very well.

I ate 2080 calories (the goal was 2300-2400).

I used oatmeal and yams for the primary carb sources.

Macros ended up at:

168 protein
257 carbs
37 fat

The basic premise I use for carb refeeds is to keep protein at about 1g/ lb bodyweight, no extra fat outside of what's in the food and the rest carbs.

Next week will be more organized and planned out, rather then all last minute throwing food together. It was still great to eat the extra carbs!

Sunday, Feb 27th

Well...I knew I would have to do something ridiculous to be a contender in the weekly contest. So...in the interest of saying to everyone..don't count me out yet, I pushed myself WAY WAY WAY out of my comfort zone for lifting!

To those of you who bet on me...THANK YOU...for the vote of confidence and the motivation. I wanted to show all of you what I am made of and that I can give 200% effort.

I did the same workout that I did on the 21st, which is post 203 (I think). It was a bit of a mixed workout because of my sore leg last weekend.

Started with 10 mins warm up cardio on the treadmill. Walked for 2 mins and ran the rest...HR avg at 155.

And just in case anyone wanted to call bs on me, I videoed it! One handed while I was doing it, so....not great but I wanted to document it too. It felt amazing!! I wanted to do the happy dance right there in the gym! I have no idea where that puts me in the contest but it felt great to do it and that, in itself, was a personal victory!

im trying to get my calves up... but i will tell you, i could not do that right now to save my life...
KILL THAT SHIT!!!
gotta give respect for the video people, not many here willing to put the extra effort into documenting this on video...
now you are just crazy to tape a PR like that with one hand on the camera... i like!
